• New dual sim push-button phones. Nokia push-button phones. Video on the topic


    Despite the actual hegemony of touchscreen smartphones, push-button phones are still in demand among a wide range of people. For the most part, buyers appreciate their low price, long battery life and ease of operation (for example, in the cold). Yes, similar devices may not have the best cameras or advanced capabilities, but they can offer a number of advantages: reliability, compactness, high autonomy and large life cycle models. Push-button phones may have turned into niche devices, but they have not lost their buyer at all - many business people or simply unpretentious users choose them.

    But, despite the reduction in the segment of push-button phones, it is extremely easy to get confused in the model range of this or that company. This rating will allow you to figure out which devices are the best in their class based on a set of parameters.

    The best push-button phones with a classic case: price – quality

    This good phones with a durable body and useful features. We have collected in this category mobile phones that keep a stable connection and are characterized by increased reliability.

    3 Micromax X412

    Bluetooth and high-capacity battery
    Country: India
    Average price: 640 rub.
    Rating (2018): 4.5

    A good mobile phone with a convenient compact size. There's a lot here useful functions such as transferring contacts via USB, a flashlight, a vibration alert, a calendar, a stopwatch, and even the ability to read books. The cell phone keeps excellent communication and today is one of the best push-button phones with a price of up to 1000 rubles.

    The model accommodates two SIM cards. You can listen to music through an audio player and even make backups. The main disadvantages that experienced owners write in reviews are the speaker located on the back cover and therefore producing a dull sound, and the insufficiently bright screen with small viewing angles. There is no camera here, but there is a Bluetooth module. A nice feature is a promising 800 mAh battery, which lasts for seven days with average use of the phone.

    2 Alcatel 1066D

    High quality build. Thoughtful interface
    Country: France
    Average price: 899 rub.
    Rating (2018): 4.6

    Excellently assembled push-button monoblock. The phone boasts a durable body made of textured, pleasant-to-touch plastic, convenient button placement and travel, and a strict, laconic design. Even the font and colors of the menu are chosen with taste. The intensity of the screen backlight can be adjusted within a fairly wide range: it is comfortable to read from the display both in bright sun and in the dark.

    The settings have everything you need: auto-recording of conversations (to a memory card), blacklist, calculator, organizer, converter, alarm clock, voice recorder and even radio. The interlocutor can be heard well, you can also be heard perfectly when telephone conversation. This is one of the best mobile phones in the budget segment. In the reviews, users found only minor shortcomings: a small battery (enough for two to three days with rare conversations), lack of a vibration signal and slow Internet (enough for sending MMS and view weather forecasts, news and public transport schedules).

    1 Nokia 3310 Dual Sim (2017)

    Best build quality and materials
    Country: China
    Average price: 3570 rub.
    Rating (2018): 4.7

    The original Nokia 3310, introduced to the world in 2000, has become a true legend. Probably everyone has heard about its strength and “survivability”. The 2017 model shares the same name, but does it live up to the name? Oh yes! Judging by independent tests, the phone has the same properties: it can survive falls, shocks and other abuses without any problems. An extremely necessary feature for a utilitarian “dialer”.

    They tried to bring the appearance of the rating leader as close as possible to the old model, but the design looks fresh. Fans of brightness will appreciate the presence of five body color options. I would like to highlight a good camera - 2 megapixels without autofocus take mediocre photos, but competitors cannot offer even that. A regular cell phone without unnecessary bells and whistles awaits us inside. The operating system is simple, but made in a single minimalist style - it looks nice. And yes, the famous “snake” is here. The 1200 mAh battery lasts for about 5-7 days of use.

    The best push-button flip phones

    In the past decade, flip phones were fashion devices in themselves, and thanks to the efforts of the then market-leading Motorola and the PR campaign for the Razr (and partly Tundra) line, sales of devices of this form factor increased significantly. Over time, the demand for such solutions has faded, but many still value them for their compactness and ease of use - many flip phones have a convenient additional screen that displays the time, date and name/number of the caller. But models with the above-mentioned option are now extremely difficult to find on shelves.

    3 Alcatel 2051D

    Big buttons. Good camera
    Country: France
    Average price: 2270 rub.
    Rating (2018): 4.5

    A clamshell with the optimal size is not a tiny device, but a normal mobile phone that fits comfortably in your hand. The keyboard is pleasing - the buttons are large, the signatures are noticeable, so the model fits into the parameters of models for the elderly. The speakers are loud, and the clamshell form factor eliminates the need to press any key combinations to unlock.

    There is Bluetooth and a 2 megapixel camera on board, which is not so common among push-button models. The battery lasts for a week with daily calls totaling up to 30 minutes. Stable communication support even in those places where the smartphone periodically gets lost deserves special attention. Vibrate alert on site. The main disadvantages: the absence of an event indicator, a easily soiled case with a glossy finish, and an inconvenient typing method (T9 has to be turned off every time).

    2 LG G360

    Best screen
    Country: South Korea (made in China)
    Average price: 4532 rub.
    Rating (2018): 4.7

    Lost the palm in our rating to LG G360 - by technical specifications it is, although slightly, inferior to the best flip phone. For the most part, this happened due to the much higher cost and lower strength indicators. But in many ways, the model from the South Korean manufacturer is not just inferior, but even superior to its competitor. Firstly, with minimal differences in dimensions, engineers fit a large 3-inch diagonal screen with high brightness and natural color rendition into a small body. The second trump card of the model is a fairly powerful (for a clamshell) battery with a capacity of 950 mAh.

    The G360 has a claimed talk time of 13 hours, which is twice as long as its competitor. Otherwise, the two models are comparable, but the price is not in favor of LG - the folding phone from the Koreans costs four and a half times more than the winner of the rating.

    1 ZTE R341

    Better screen brightness. Suitable for the elderly. The most durable folding bed
    Country: China
    Average price: 939 rub.
    Rating (2018): 4.9

    Stylish, neat and almost armor-piercing clamshell with a very large battery and radio. Bluetooth and included headphones are a bonus. In reviews, many users note the high strength properties of this phone. The cell phone survived a year of use under construction conditions, kept company with laundry during an hour-long wash in the washing machine, and this did not in any way affect its operation. The matte plastic body is reliable. The screen has a huge reserve of brightness - in daily conditions, owners are content with a brightness level of one division out of five.

    The seemingly formal camera with a resolution of 0.1 megapixels surprisingly creates good pictures in the 640x480 format. The main disadvantages of a mobile phone are small volume internal memory(solved by connecting a memory card), lack of a blacklist and a flashlight. Due to the bright screen, durable body and large buttons, the model is ideally suited for the elderly. The only thing is that there is no SOS button. But the speakers are loud: both spoken and external.

    The best push-button phones with a powerful battery

    These are mobile phones that are characterized by record battery life. An ideal option for older people who forget to charge the device on time, and an excellent device for travel purposes when there is no way to connect the phone to an outlet.

    3 Digma LINX A230WT 2G

    Largest battery (capacity 6000 mAh)
    Country: China
    Average price: 2950 rub.
    Rating (2018): 4.5

    A mobile phone with a brutal design and a record battery capacity for push-button models – 6000 mAh. The battery provides autonomy for up to one and a half months, and active use you are unlikely to be able to discharge it in a week.

    The phone also has a flashlight. Bright and with better range light compared to other competitors. The screen is quite large (2.31 inches diagonally) and also bright. Externally, the monoblock looks like an armor-piercing device; you can also find the declared water protection in the model description. In fact, there is no water protection here - even the connectors are not covered with plugs, and the plastic case cannot provide acceptable impact resistance. An unusual feature of a cell phone today is a walkie-talkie. But reviews note that the sound transmitted is very quiet, although the microphone and speakers work perfectly and in other conditions produce loud sound with a good margin.

    2 Fly FF249

    Power bank mode
    Country: UK
    Average price: 1823 rub.
    Rating (2018): 4.6

    Excellent push-button mobile phone. The manufacturer has provided owners with the opportunity to increase the ROM capacity with a memory card, since the standard space is not enough even for photos. The model supports two SIM cards, is equipped with Bluetooth and boasts 32 MB of RAM. There is also an MP3 player and radio, but the main advantage of this cell phone is its battery life. Thanks to the large 4000 mAh battery, with rare calls the phone can live without a power outlet for a month or a month and a half.

    A great bonus is the ability to use your phone as a power bank. That is, you simply connect your smartphone to this cell phone with a cable and charge. The icing on the cake is that you can listen to the radio without connecting a headset. There is also the Internet here, the function can be disabled. There are few disadvantages here, but they do exist - a weak camera, the absence of a T9, the lack of any permanent memory from the box (can be treated with a flash card) and not the smallest dimensions (a sacrifice for the sake of a large battery).

    1 Philips Xenium E570

    Optimal characteristics at an affordable price
    Country: Netherlands (manufactured in China)
    Average price: 4687 rub.
    Rating (2018): 4.8

    If you pronounce the name of the manufacturer “Philips” even to an ignorant layman, then long-lived models belonging to the premium segment will probably appear in his head. And if the first is absolutely correct, then the second is a big mistake, because the company has long changed course towards budget segment. Philips Xenium E570 is proof of the thesis that you can get a lot from a phone for little money.

    There are several compelling reasons to recognize it as the best in the ranking. The first is the ratio of price and quality of the case: for the money, the phone has a large screen, but does not look at all budget, as is often the case with models from other manufacturers. The second is a powerful battery that provides more than two days (!) of talk time. In practice, this gives every reason to expect two weeks of work, if you do not overuse listening to music via a Bluetooth headset, which is also supported here.

    The best push-button phones with a large screen

    The presence of a large screen hints at the presence of fonts that are easy to read, so models from this category are suitable for people with vision problems. Also, the phones from the selection will appeal to those who plan to view news from the dialer, carry out correspondence, and even read books.

    3 Nokia 230 Dual SIM

    High quality case
    Country: Finland
    Average price: 4780 rub.
    Rating (2018): 4.5

    A classic candy bar from a famous brand. For the price requested by the manufacturer, it is quite possible to buy inexpensive smartphone, that’s why there are a lot of negative reviews about this model. But for those who are looking for a reliable mobile phone without unnecessary hassles, the model will be the best solution. Nokia's biggest mistake is the new software, which is characterized by ill-conceived and complex interface.

    In contrast to this are convenient dimensions, a large 2.8-inch screen, a tactilely pleasant body made of metal and plastic, a 2-megapixel camera with flash, polyphony support and a large 1200 mAh battery. The phone lasts 23 hours in talk mode, and the standby time away from a power outlet lasts three weeks. Bluetooth here is version 3.0, which looks attractive compared to inexpensive competitors with second-generation Bluetooth. A nice bonus for those who like to listen to music through wireless headphones– A2DP codec support.

    2 BQ BQ-2807 Wonder

    Stylish design. Two screens
    Country: Russia (manufactured in China)
    Average price: 2490 rub.
    Rating (2018): 4.8

    A model with a 2.8-inch display and a stylish glossy metal-look body. A special feature of this phone is a second screen with a diagonal of 1.77 inches, where you can view the time and other relevant information. The built-in memory is limited to 64 MB, and the manufacturer allocated the same amount for RAM. The data storage can easily be expanded with the resource of a flash drive.

    Bluetooth, radio and camera are hidden under the body. The 1100 mAh battery allows you not to worry about the sudden discharge of your mobile phone within 3-4 days. Today this is one of the newest folding phones. It is suitable for older people due to its bright screen with readable fonts and a comfortable keyboard. The phone can hardly be called inexpensive, but it outperforms cheaper competitors with advanced functionality and more powerful hardware. Reviews focus on the wide selection of colors.

    1 BQ BQ-3201 Option

    The biggest screen. TV tuner
    Country: Spain
    Average price: 2100 rub.
    Rating (2018): 4.8

    The model from the Spanish manufacturer can easily be called one of the most unusual phones on the market. First of all, you pay attention to the unusually large screen for a push-button phone - 3.2 inches. In addition, the side and top bezels are relatively thin. Why does the dialer need such a giant screen? For example, to watch TV through the built-in analog tuner. Just a great solution for passing the time in line. There is no need to worry about autonomy, because a 1750 mAh battery is installed inside. Among other things, it is worth writing down the excellent appearance. The shape is not quite ordinary, but the design is strict, minimalistic - it can be called premium.

    It would seem that in the age of smartphones that can do everything, a push-button telephone is archaic. However, there are cases when a push-button telephone with powerful battery will be indispensable. For example, if you need an emergency phone that you can only use when leaving home. Or if you need to choose a phone for your child so that he always stays in touch with you. Or if you're just looking cheap phone, which you can take on work trips, to festivals and parties, and not worry about possible loss.

    This device is flagship phone BlackBerry with a push-button keyboard. It also has touch controls, but looks exactly like a traditional BlackBerry phone.

    The Q10 is relatively small and squat, giving a feeling of power rather than elegance. And this makes sense, since your BlackBerry will most likely be a reliable workhorse. Its touch screen is 3.1 inches in size, and inside the phone there is Qualcomm processor Snapdragon S4 with 1.5 GHz dual-core processor and 2 GB of RAM. You get 16GB of flash storage, plus the option to add another 32GB with a MicroSD card.

    Pros:

    • Capacious and at the same time removable battery of 2100 mAh.
    • Great sound.
    • High quality build. It is not recommended to drop it, but if you do drop it, then most likely nothing will be done to the phone.
    • There is NFC, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.0.
    • Both 3G and 4G LTE are supported.
    • Both cameras - 8-megapixel rear and 5-megapixel front nice pictures. Of course, you can't compare with them. However, the BlackBerry Q10 is a high-quality feature phone with a good camera.

    Cons:

    • Small app store. The problem is solved by installing the Android Market.
    • In 4G mode, the phone gets very hot and can discharge in a few hours.

    9. Nokia 8110 4G

    The average price is 5,500 rubles (sales start in May).

    “Banana” is the first thing that comes to mind when you look at the 2018 Nokia feature phone. A lot is already known about the new product, which has not yet gone on sale in Russian stores. It comes in black and yellow, and its design plays not only on the nostalgia of the Nokia 8110, but also on the feelings of Matrix fans. After all, it was this Nokia flip phone that Morpheus sent Neo for communication in the first part of the film.

    The KaiOS operating system is simple and accessible, even a child can understand it. Applications on at the moment limited to Facebook, Snake and a few games. But in the future their number will increase.

    The battery is removable and very long-lasting for such a phone - 1500 mAh. The phone screen has a diagonal of 2.45 inches and a resolution of 320x240. Inside the device there is a dual-core Qualcomm MSM8905 chip, 1100 MHz, 4 GB of internal memory and 512 MB of RAM.

    Pros:

    • Stunning curved slider design.
    • It is possible to connect 3G and 4G. This means that, unlike the Nokia 3310, the 8110 4G will work almost everywhere.
    • Removable battery providing up to 25 days of battery life.
    • There are Wi-Fi 802.11n and Bluetooth 4.1 interfaces.

    Cons:

    8. teXet TM-401

    Can be purchased for 1,350 rubles.

    An ideal clamshell device for a gift for an elderly person or a junior high school student. It does not have options such as Wi-Fi and Internet access. But there is an 800 mAh battery, a bright 2.4-inch screen and even a slot for a memory card up to 8 GB.

    Pros:

    • Ergonomic design.
    • Large convenient buttons.
    • There is FM radio.
    • It is possible to use 2 SIM cards.
    • Loud sound.

    Cons:

    • There is no camera, even the poorest one.
    • The battery takes a long time to charge.
    • If you do not read the incoming SMS message, the screen will light up and thereby “eat” the battery.

    7.Micromax X940

    Costs, on average, 1,690 rubles.

    Pleasant to the touch, functional and at the same time inexpensive push-button telephone. It can last more than 2.5 weeks in standby mode and is a good choice if the phone needs to remember a lot of contacts and loud sound so as not to miss an incoming call.

    Micromax X940 has a bright 2.8 inch screen, equipped with MediaTek processor MT6261, and 32 MB of internal and RAM.

    • You cannot set your own ringtones for SMS.

    6. Fly FF249

    Can be purchased for 1,790 rubles.

    This is a great feature phone for those who don't like flip phones. It even has a very basic MP3 player, but we don't recommend trying to use it given its primitive nature. Focus on the fact that this device is extremely easy to use, and the battery will last a very, very long time.

    The phone's specifications are quite modest: a single-core MediaTek MT6261 chip, 8 GB of flash memory expandable by another 8 GB. And 32 MB of memory for programs. The pride of the Fly FF249 is its 4000 mAh battery. Because of this, it is quite thick, but it fits comfortably in the hand.

    Pros:

    • Removable and powerful battery.
    • Bright 2.4 inch display.
    • Availability of FM radio.
    • Phone book for 300 names.

    Cons:

    • Contacts in the phone book are recorded with one number per name.
    • Camera 0.3 MP.
    • The earpiece is not very loud, so the phone is unlikely to be suitable for an elderly person. But it will be an excellent companion on a business trip.

    5. BQ BQ-3201 Option

    Offered for 1,676 rubles.

    Fifth place in the ranking of push-button phones is occupied by a beautiful and stylish device. It is the “golden mean” both in price and in capabilities.

    • There is FM radio.
    • There is an analog TV tuner.
    • Loud and clear sound from 2 speakers.
    • There is a slot for memory expansion up to 16 GB.
    • Capacious 1750 mAh battery.
    • There is a backlit keyboard.
    • There is a ban on calls from unknown numbers.

    Cons:

    • The camera, although better than in the two previous models in the review, is still weak - 1.3 MP.
    • There is no automatic key lock.
    • There is no equalizer in the MP3 player.

    4. Philips Xenium E331

    The average price is 4,040 rubles.

    If you miss simple phone“a la 90s”, then the Philips Xenium E331 is what you need. He can send SMS and call. It also has a manufacturer-added bonus in the form of an FM radio. You can listen to it without headphones.

    Unlike its cheaper competitors, this new push-button cell phone of 2018 has GPRS Internet access. A large and clear font on a 2.4 inch screen and good sound will make the device a valuable gift for an elderly relative.

    Pros:

    • Excellent two-way audibility.
    • Removable 1600 mAh battery.
    • There is a slot for a 16 GB memory card.
    • Good build.

    Cons:

    • Inconvenient menu.
    • Camera 0.3 MP.
    • The phone turns off if you press the red button for more than 1 second. That is, when the conversation ends, the phone will most likely be turned off.
    • High price.

    3.Nokia 105

    The average cost is 1,120 rubles.

    Nokia is returning to the good old feature phones with decent build quality. A prime example is the Nokia 105. It's compact and lightweight, so you'll barely feel it in your pocket. It's a great little phone if you just want to use it for calls and texts, and it has a 1.8-inch color screen and FM radio.

    Nokia claims the 105 has a battery backup of 35 days, making it ideal for calls and texts. Buy this phone for your children, and they will not be too distracted by games and the Internet on the way to and from school. And its breakdown or loss will not be the end of the world for a single family, unlike an expensive smartphone.

    Pros:

    • Works for a long time thanks to the 800 mAh battery.
    • Loud speaker.
    • Beautiful appearance.
    • The buttons are pressed softly.
    • Simple menu.
    • If it falls on the floor, it is unlikely to break.
    • There is a blacklist.

    Cons:

    • No Internet access.
    • No camera.
    • There are few characters when typing a contact name.
    • You can only assign one contact name to each number.

    2. LG G360

    You can buy it for 4,369 rubles.

    The flip phone from the famous South Korean manufacturer has a large 3-inch screen and has a low battery consumption of 950 mAh. In standby mode, according to the manufacturer, the G360 will last up to 20 days. The model's keys are comfortable, easy to press and backlit.

    The LG G360 has only 20 MB of memory, but don't worry, you can record your favorite music and other files on a memory card up to 16 GB in size and insert it into the phone.

    Pros:

    • Beautiful bright red body.
    • Simple interface with a convenient file manager.
    • Loud sound.
    • There is FM radio.
    • Removable battery.

    Cons:

    • No flashlight.
    • There is no option to change or enlarge the font.
    • Camera 1.3 MP.
    • High price.

    1.Nokia 3310 3G

    Available in stores for 3,490 rubles.

    Everyone aboard the nostalgia train! Yes, the legendary Nokia 3310 is back with a new indestructible model and the old “Snake”.

    The best push-button cell phone of 2018 is not perfect in the rating, but it is ahead of its competitors in cost and capabilities. It has a large 2.4-inch screen for its size, and the operating time from the 1200 mAh battery is 648 hours in standby mode or 40 hours in music listening mode. The built-in memory of 128 MB can be expanded by 32 GB by installing a MicroSD card.

    Pros:

    • The battery is removable.
    • There is FM radio.
    • There is an MP3 player.
    • There is a 2 MP camera.
    • You can set your own melody for alarms and calls.

    • The Micro-SIM slot will make it difficult for some users to switch to the 3310 3G as a backup device.
    • You can only assign one phone number to one contact.
    • Not very loud sound in the speaker.

    Summing up

    If you choose between the push-button phones listed in our review, then for an elderly relative we would choose:

    • teXet TM-401;
    • LG G360;
    • Philips Xenium E331;
    • Micromax X940.

    A suitable gift for a son or daughter would be:

    • Fly FF249;
    • Nokia 3310 3G;
    • Nokia 105;
    • BQ BQ-3201 Option.

    On a work trip, I would take a BlackBerry Q10 or Nokia 3310 3G.

    But for the sake of the soul and nostalgia, we would only buy the Nokia 8110 4G. However, it is also excellent for everyday tasks such as calls and SMS.

    One of the simplest devices in our rating. It is also the cheapest - in some stores it can be purchased for only 690 rubles. This is also a rare case when a push-button mobile phone is offered in two color options - black and white.

    This phone is very small and light. At the same time, there was room inside for two SIM cards. There is no microSD card slot here. It is simply not required, since the product does not support MP3 music, not to mention any other media files. However, the owner of this mobile phone will still be able to listen to music - through the built-in FM radio. It's funny that most of the devices included in our selection are equipped with it.

    With such functionality, a push-button device could easily have a monochrome display. However, the manufacturer was still generous with a color screen, the diagonal of which is 1.8 inches and the resolution is 126x160 pixels. He also introduced a flashlight into his creation. However, it is not recommended to use it actively, because the capacity of the battery present here is only 400 mAh. Strictly speaking, it is the battery that is the main drawback of the device - its full charge is only enough for three hours of talk time. Therefore, this is not best choice for a person accustomed to conversations in large volumes. But in standby mode the phone can last a couple of days; in this regard, there are no serious complaints about it.

    Advantages

    • Two SIM card slots;
    • Built-in flashlight;
    • There is FM radio;
    • Miniature sizes;
    • Weight barely reaches 63 g;
    • A price tag affordable for almost everyone.

    Flaws

    • Extremely low battery capacity;
    • No MP3 support;
    • Low screen resolution;

    Push-button telephone with QWERTY keyboard and Wi-Fi module

    In fact, this is a smartphone, not a phone, because it runs a full-fledged BlackBerry OS operating system. However, it couldn’t help but get into our rating, because the device’s firmware is much inferior to Android in terms of the capabilities it offers, so many people mistake this device for a traditional mobile phone, complemented by a QWERTY keyboard. Only a very expensive mobile phone, because its cost varies from 13 to 20 thousand rubles. And this is a phone that does not have official guarantee- This is due to the fact that the BlackBerry brand is present on the Russian market exclusively on an unofficial basis.

    None of the devices in our rating has a display with such a high resolution. 720x720 pixels - with a modest 3.1-inch diagonal, this results in a pixel density of 328 PPI. This is an excellent result, which, for example, many budget smartphones cannot boast of. Another good thing is that the screen was created using AMOLED technology. This means that the buyer can expect perfect black colors; the lack of backlighting is especially noticeable in the dark. This display also has low power consumption.

    Below the screen is a convenient QWERTY keyboard. But for control operating system it is not necessary to use it exclusively - the display here is touch-sensitive, in this regard the BlackBerry Q10 is no different from all modern smartphones. You can also see the front camera on the front side of the push-button device. But this device is designed for business man, so this element definitely won’t help in taking high-quality selfies - the camera performs well only in organizing video communications. By the way, you can talk to your interlocutor using a wired or wireless headset - there is both a 3.5 mm audio jack and Bluetooth 4.0. The presence of an NFC chip looks completely unexpected.

    There is an 8-megapixel camera lens on the back of the device. There are not enough stars in the sky, but with its help you can shoot video with Full HD resolution. The quality is far from what the rear cameras of smartphones are capable of. But if we talk about the representatives of our rating, they do not offer anything like that. And it’s not surprising, because they don’t have a dual-core processor with a clock speed of 1.5 GHz. Also under the body of this QWERTY phone are 2 GB of RAM and 16 GB of storage. In short, it’s difficult to find fault with the device. The only thing buyers lack is a fingerprint scanner - it seems to us that such an expensive gadget must have one.

    Advantages

    • Powerful processor;
    • Convenient QWERTY keyboard;
    • Wonderful AMOLED display;
    • There are LTE, Wi-Fi, NFC and Bluetooth 4.0 modules;
    • Decent rear camera;
    • Long battery life;
    • There is a slot for microSD;
    • Large memory capacity;
    • It is possible to install additional applications.

    Flaws

    • No fingerprint sensor;
    • There is only one SIM card slot built in;
    • Many specific BlackBerry services no longer work;
    • Very high cost.

    The best push-button phones with a classic case

    At one time, the reincarnation of Nokia 3310 caused a strong reaction from both ordinary people, as well as from professionals involved in reviews of various electronic equipment. HMD Global took as a basis classic model, significantly transforming it, making it more modern. For example, the 2017 product received a 2.4-inch color screen with a resolution of 320x240 pixels. Text and icons are clearly visible even under the bright sun - not every mobile phone can boast of this. And the new version of Nokia 3310 has a two-megapixel camera, with which you can take a photo of a person in order to place his face in the contact book. For such pictures, 20 MB of permanent memory are allocated. If you want to use the device as an MP3 player, you will have to get a microSD card.

    Such a phone could not but include FM radio. However, remember that it only works when you connect headphones - they will act as an antenna. The product also has a Bluetooth 3.0 module, which is used for synchronization with wireless headsets. The mobile phone also offers access to the Internet - EDGE technology is used for this purpose. A flashlight can also make someone happy.

    Perhaps the Nokia 3310 (2017) should suit every buyer. Especially those who understand that they are purchasing a mobile phone, not a smartphone. In a word, it’s not for nothing that a push-button telephone made it into our rating. And don’t forget that you can find two versions of the device in stores - they differ in the number of SIM card slots. And don’t expect indestructibility from this device - in this regard, it differs from its prototype only for the worse.

    Advantages

    • There is a simple camera;
    • Sufficiently long battery life;
    • There is a flashlight;
    • The memory card slot has not been forgotten;
    • There is an FM radio;
    • Bright colors of the case;
    • Good LCD display;
    • Internet access is possible.

    Flaws

    • The sizes may seem too large;
    • Not the best speaker;
    • The price tag cannot be called low;
    • There are problems with the text input language.

    Another mobile phone manufactured by the Chinese, but already distributed under the Philips brand. This push-button device also supports the installation of two SIM cards - a single-SIM version of this model simply does not exist. And here, too, there is a Bluetooth module, with which a wireless headset is connected.

    When you look at the phone, it immediately becomes clear that it is primarily intended for older people. This is evidenced by the large font in which the numbers on the keys are written. They will like the light weight of the device, which is no more than 112 g. They will also appreciate the 2.4-inch display, the resolution of which is 320x240 pixels. On such a screen, all menu lines are clearly visible, even if a person has vision problems. It should be noted that there is an MP3 player here. You can also play MP3 music on a call. There is also an FM radio here. Interestingly, you can activate it even without connecting headphones - the radio has a built-in antenna. This is a rare feature that almost all other devices we have reviewed are deprived of.

    Otherwise, this is a typical mobile phone. The user has 3.8 MB of internal memory available here, so music and pictures will have to be downloaded to a microSD card. By the way, it is best to do this using a computer. Of course, the Philips Xenium E331 can also access the Internet, but for this it uses a simple GPRS module - the speed is only enough to load WAP sites. We also don't recommend using the camera - it only has 0.3 megapixel resolution. I'm glad that nothing bad can be said about the battery - the 1600 mAh capacity is enough for many hours of battery life. However, the Xenium line of phones is known for its long-lasting performance.

    Advantages

    • Bluetooth 2.1 available;
    • For a long time work;
    • Light weight;
    • There are two SIM card slots;
    • Excellent LCD display;
    • It is possible to listen to MP3 music;
    • There is an FM radio that does not require headphones;
    • The kit includes a cradle.

    Flaws

    • Bad camera;
    • Difficulties with choosing the Russian language when writing SMS;
    • Inconvenient editing of contacts;
    • No flashlight;
    • The phone is not cheap.

    One of the most affordable phones in our rating. IN Russian stores they ask for no more than 1,700 rubles, and often you can buy it for much less money. This device is very compact, and its weight does not exceed an insignificant 90 g. At the same time, there was a place inside it for a Bluetooth module, which not every push-button phone receives. But the SIM card slot is installed in a single copy, and this is the main disadvantage of this device. Which, however, is quite possible to come to terms with.

    Three color versions of Alcatel 2008G went on sale. In any case, the case will be made of plastic, and the front panel will be occupied by a keyboard and a 2.4-inch LCD display. The resolution of the latter is 320x240 pixels, and the pixel density here reaches 167 PPI. In a word, it is impossible to find fault with the screen. As well as the camera, the resolution of which reaches 2 megapixels. Of course, for video shooting this parameter is extremely small, but such a camera provides quite decent pictures for a contact book.

    This mobile phone recognizes MP3 music without any problems. It must be contained on a memory card, since the amount of built-in storage available to the user is only 5 MB. On the body of the device you can find a 3.5 mm audio jack. You can also output sound to a wireless headset using the Bluetooth 3.0 module. You can also listen to music using the built-in radio, which does not require headphones - the creators have equipped it with its own antenna.

    Perhaps this phone represents the optimal combination of price and characteristics. The push-button phone even has an SOS button, which can be very useful in certain conditions. It remains to add that the capacity of the battery used here is 1400 mAh.

    Advantages

    • The kit includes a cradle;
    • The screen has high resolution;
    • Very light weight;
    • There is an SOS button on the body;
    • Memory card installation available;
    • There is an MP3 player;
    • There is an FM radio that does not require headphones;
    • There is a Bluetooth module;
    • Three colors to choose from.

    Flaws

    • Only one SIM card slot;
    • Confusing menu (the device is not recommended for elderly people);
    • Flashlight missing;
    • Not the best earpiece speaker.

    The phone is quite easy to use. Its release began at the time when Nokia belonged to Microsoft. It seems that the manufacturer had some problems with money, and therefore the mobile phone received very weak components. For example, the menu here is displayed on a 1.8-inch LCD display, the resolution of which is only 160x128 pixels. This alone prevents us from recommending such a purchase to older people. The savings are also felt by the fact that the device does not have a camera. At all! This means that the contact book will be without photographs - if incoming call Only the name will be displayed.

    One would expect that such a device would not receive support for MP3 ringtones. However, the manufacturer did not save money in this regard. Moreover, MP3 music can be output to a wireless headset - for this, use bluetooth technology 3.0. If you don’t have such an accessory, you can get by with wired headphones - the 3.5 mm audio jack is still there. By the way, you will need to connect them and, if necessary, listen to FM radio.

    The mobile phone turned out to be almost weightless; it is one of the lightest phones in our rating. It is also good news that there are at least two color versions of the device on sale - with red and black housings. But one slot for a SIM card will seem nonsense to some. However, the phone cannot access the Internet, so there is little point in combining two tariffs. The device can also boast of having a slot for a memory card - a maximum copy of 32 GB is supported. Autonomous operation of the phone is ensured by the familiar BL-5C battery, the capacity of which is 1020 mAh. The manufacturer promises that this is enough for 13 hours of continuous talk.

    Advantages

    • Weight does not exceed 68 g;
    • Decent battery life;
    • Built-in FM radio;
    • Available Bluetooth support- headset;
    • MP3 music can be played;
    • Two body colors are available;
    • There is a slot for a memory card;
    • The kit includes a simple stereo headset.

    Flaws

    • The screen has low resolution;
    • The alarm volume does not change;
    • There is no camera (does not apply to all copies);
    • No internet access;
    • There is only one SIM card slot;
    • Organization phone book seems uncomfortable.

    The best feature phones with a good camera

    One of the most expensive push-button devices in our rating, if we talk exclusively about phones. In Russian retail, the LG G360 costs approximately 4,300 rubles. At the same time, they offer to purchase the device in one of two colors - red and black. The high cost is due to excellent quality product - this mobile phone will definitely not break in the next one and a half to two years of use. The form factor also influenced the price tag. The fact is that this is a clamshell, albeit without an additional display on the top panel.

    If you open the device, you can access the 3-inch screen. Its resolution is 320x240 pixels. Even a person with impaired vision can discern what is happening on the display, which is good news. However, a person with good eyesight will immediately draw attention to pixelation, and this is not good. It also uses a very large keyboard - this is already a plus.

    Under back cover There is a removable battery familiar to such devices. Its capacity is 950 mAh, which is enough for most users. The phone also has two slots for SIM cards. This option is useful if you have both a home and work number. It will be useful for someone rear camera. Its resolution is 1.3 megapixels. This is a very good parameter, rarely found in push-button mobile phones. It would be a shame not to use such a camera for photographing people in your contact book. By the way, 20 MB of internal memory are allocated here for saving images. If this is not enough, you can always use a memory card with a capacity of up to 16 GB. You will also have to install it if you want to listen to MP3 music. The sound, by the way, can be output not only to wired, but also to Bluetooth headphones.

    Advantages

    • The phone is designed as a clamshell;
    • You can insert a memory card;
    • High reliability;
    • Decent LCD display;
    • There is a good rear camera;
    • The device has a Bluetooth 2.1 module;
    • Built-in FM radio;
    • There is MP3 support;
    • There are two slots for SIM cards;
    • Very long battery life.

    Flaws

    • High cost;
    • There is no external display;
    • Inconvenient section with SMS messages.

    This phone looks quite stylish, although it belongs to the traditional candy bar form factor. On its front panel there was room for the keyboard, the manufacturer's logo and a 2.4-inch display. The resolution of the latter is 320x240 pixels, thanks to which a large number of icons and menu items can be placed on it. On the back side you can find a fairly large lens belonging to a two-megapixel camera. It can take good pictures, and if desired, it can also be used to record video (but of very lousy quality). Moreover, the camera is equipped with an LED flash, which is rare for a modern feature phone.

    Of course, such an expensive push-button device could not do without support for MP3 music. It should be uploaded to a memory card - the maximum mobile phone can recognize is a 32 GB drive. The phone cannot access the Internet on its own, so to download songs you will need a computer, tablet or smartphone. Sound can be output either to headphones or a Bluetooth headset. Or use the built-in speaker, which is also used for speakerphone.

    The device turned out to be quite decent. It's definitely worth the money. Some people may not like only the fact that there is only one color - exclusively black. But the device has two slots for SIM cards. As for the weight, it is 138 g - quite decent for a modern “button”.

    Advantages

    • There is a slot for a memory card;
    • High reliability;
    • Good rear camera, complemented by flash;
    • The battery capacity reaches 3100 mAh;
    • Very good LCD display;
    • Implemented support for MP3 music;
    • There is an FM radio;
    • You can insert two SIM cards;
    • There is Bluetooth.

    Flaws

    • The cost cannot be called low;
    • No internet access;
    • The device turned out to be heavy.

    This mobile phone immediately attracts attention. Many consumers are attracted by the LCD display installed here, the diagonal of which reaches 3.2 inches. Screen resolution is 240x320 pixels, pixelation is not noticeable. Under the screen there is a place for numerous keys, with the help of which dialing and menu control are implemented. If you look at the back panel, a fairly large lens immediately stands out. Underneath is a sensor with a resolution of 1.3 megapixels. If the task is to photograph a person for a contact book, then the camera will definitely cope with it. But not in the dark, because this phone does not have a flash.

    The device is available in two color options. Like most mobile phones currently existing, it supports working with a pair of SIM cards. There is also a slot for a memory card, the volume of which should not exceed 16 GB. Basically, the drive will be needed to listen to MP3 music, because uploading such melodies to the built-in memory is pointless - 30 MB is only enough for a couple of tracks. By the way, the user will also be able to listen to FM radio. Moreover, the phone has a TV tuner! But only analog. When will our country completely switch to digital format DVB-T2, this option will become useless.

    It should be noted that this mobile phone cannot access the Internet. And it made it into our rating not only thanks to its camera and screen, but also due to its very capacious battery. In short, the device is definitely worth its two thousand rubles. As long as you are willing to accept the fact that some people will hear your conversation. The fact is that the device does not have a front speaker. That is, during a conversation the rear speaker works, just at low volume.

    Advantages

    • Not a bad camera, although without a flash;
    • There is Bluetooth;
    • Adequate price tag;
    • Weight does not exceed 116 g;
    • The microSD slot has not been forgotten;
    • Installation of two SIM cards is available;
    • There are FM radio and TV tuner;
    • Very decent LCD display;
    • Two body colors to choose from;
    • The battery capacity is 1750 mAh.

    Flaws

    • Can't go online;
    • The conversation is conducted through the rear speaker.

    The best push-button phones with a powerful battery

    It was Philips that at one time began to equip its phones with a capacious battery. Since then, the Chinese have received the rights to the brand, but the situation has not changed - many mobile phones from the Xenium series still receive a capacious battery. For example, the Philips Xenium E570 includes a battery with a capacity of 3160 mAh. With it, even with regular conversations, you will only have to use chargers once every few days or even a week.

    But the device is unique not only for its battery. The manufacturer endowed his creation with built-in memory of 133 MB. Unless you want to turn your phone into an MP3 player, you definitely won't need a microSD card. By the way, you can listen to music here, including via Bluetooth headphones. There is also an FM radio, but to activate it you will need wired headphones - they will act as an antenna.

    The picture here is displayed on a 2.8-inch display with a resolution of 240x320 pixels. We can say that this is the standard for a modern “button”. The buyer should also be pleased with a flashlight that can be useful in a dark entrance or somewhere else. It should also be noted that there are two slots for SIM cards. Well, you can complain about the weight - the device turned out to be quite heavy.

    Advantages

    • There is Internet access;
    • The rear camera is complemented by a flash;
    • Good LCD display;
    • You can listen to MP3 music;
    • There is FM radio;
    • Bluetooth 3.0 available;
    • Large amount of permanent memory;
    • A high-capacity battery is used;
    • The microSD slot has not been forgotten.

    Flaws

    • Weight reaches 156 g;
    • Not better interface;
    • Very high cost;
    • The camera has low resolution.

    Another push-button phone in our rating, the screen resolution of which is 240x320 pixels. With a 2.4-inch diagonal, this is a completely adequate parameter, allowing the firmware to display a large number of icons. But the push-button device was included in our selection thanks to its battery, the capacity of which is 4000 mAh. The manufacturer promises that the user will be able to talk on this phone for more than a day and a half in a row.

    There is only one color version of the device available for sale. As befits a modern mobile phone, SENSEIT L208 has two slots for SIM cards. The weight of the device is 120 g. Under the body there are 30 MB of permanent memory. Considering that the device supports MP3 music, this may not seem enough. In this regard, a memory card slot will definitely come in handy. The system supports a maximum storage capacity of 32 GB. By the way, it is not necessary to listen to MP3 songs. Instead, you can use FM radio by connecting wired headphones to your mobile phone. A flashlight can also please the buyer.

    Claims here can be made only to the interface. In particular, this device has a very strange implementation of the key unlocking system - for this you need to make as many as three presses.

    Advantages

    • There are two SIM card slots;
    • Very capacious battery;
    • There is a slot for a memory card;
    • Bluetooth 3.0 is present;
    • Built-in FM radio;
    • There is support for MP3 music;
    • Very good LCD display;
    • Affordable price tag.

    Flaws

    • No camera;
    • Not the best menu;
    • No internet access;
    • Minimum amount of memory for SMS.

    A simplified externally mobile phone. This is a traditional candy bar, on the front side of which there is a keyboard and an LCD display. All keys are separate, making them easy to feel blindly. The screen installed here has a diagonal of 2.4 inches and a resolution of 240x320 pixels. This is more than enough to display large quantity lines of text and icons that make up the menu.

    If you look at the back cover, you can see the camera lens here. But it’s better to forget about this right away, since the camera resolution is only 0.3 megapixels. But FM radio will definitely please someone. However, please note that you will need to connect wired headphones to listen to it. If you want to use an MP3 player, then you will not notice such a limitation. By the way, sound can also be output to a Bluetooth headset, which is most important when driving a car.

    Otherwise, this is a typical feature phone, included in our rating mainly because of the battery, whose capacity reaches 4000 mAh. There is no doubt that you will use charger the buyer will be extremely rare. Interestingly, the manufacturer did not hide which processor is installed here - it is a single-core MediaTek MT6261, clock frequency which is only 260 MHz. This is quite enough for stable operation firmware installed here. And don’t trust online stores - the device has practically no memory of its own. The owner of such a device will definitely need a microSD card (maximum 8 GB storage is supported).

    Advantages

    • Very long battery life;
    • Adequate cost;
    • There is Bluetooth 2.1;
    • You can listen to MP3 music;
    • There is an FM radio;
    • It is possible to install a memory card;
    • Good display;
    • There is a flashlight.

    Flaws

    • Disgusting camera;
    • Weight reaches 137 g;
    • No internet access;
    • T9 is missing.

    The best push-button flip phones

    A simple folding bed in appearance. It made it into our rating not because of its design, but because of its very good characteristics. For example, the product has a high-quality LCD display. Its diagonal is 2.4 inches and its resolution is 240x320 pixels. Once upon a time, Nokia smartphones running Symbian had a similar screen. It uses much more conventional firmware, but its capabilities should be sufficient for the average user.

    Of course, in order to reduce costs, the creators had to remove the auxiliary screen from the top cover. Due to this, you will not be able to find out the name of the caller before revealing the phone. But the device has a good camera, the resolution of which reaches 2 megapixels. The device also boasts two slots for SIM cards. Please note that one slot can accommodate regular card, and in the second - micro-SIM. Many more buyers will use the memory card slot, which maxes out at a 32GB drive.

    Inside this clamshell there is a convenient keyboard. And somewhere under the body of a push-button telephone there is a processor whose clock frequency reaches 312 MHz. Alas, the manufacturer saved on the battery - a capacity of 750 mAh is only enough for one or two days of battery life with moderate use. Like many other devices reviewed in this rating, the device supports MP3 music playback, as well as FM radio. If such a desire arises, the sound can be output to a wireless headset - for this purpose it is used Bluetooth standard 2.1.

    Advantages

    • There are two slots for SIM cards;
    • There is Bluetooth; A good LCD display;
    • Built-in FM radio;
    • There is MP3 support;
    • Folding form factor;
    • You can insert a memory card (up to 32 GB);
    • Quite a good camera.

    Flaws

    • The design will not suit everyone;
    • Very modest battery;
    • The font in the menu may seem too small.

    The best secure feature phones

    An increasingly rare mobile phone on sale, which could not help but make it into our rating. This device differs from its competitors by the presence of a shock-resistant case. Moreover, the gadget can be dropped into fresh water - nothing will happen to it. However, it is not recommended to leave it there for a long time. However, it’s not easy to quickly find a phone under water. a lot of work- bright yellow inserts save the day.

    The device turned out to be heavy, its weight reaches 168 g. But such a device is extremely difficult to damage; it will serve its owner for many years. At the same time, the phone will offer to combine tariffs from different operators, because there are two slots for SIM cards. The slot for microSD has not been forgotten either - the maximum firmware will determine a 16 GB drive. You will mainly need a memory card to listen to MP3 songs. In this case, the sound can be output not only to the built-in speaker, but also to any type of headphones - including wireless ones. Interestingly, the product even has a GPRS module. However, accessing the Internet using such a push-button phone is very inconvenient, so it’s unlikely that anyone will use this function.

    The main disadvantage this mobile phone is, oddly enough, the screen. With a 2-inch diagonal, it has a resolution of only 220x176 pixels. However, this is quite enough to consider all the most important information. And it should be noted that the display is covered protective glass, saving from scratches, and this is rare for a modern “button”. The teXet TM-512R also includes a rear camera with a resolution of 2 MP. The manufacturer did not forget about the FM radio, which can be useful somewhere in nature. But in such conditions, the capacious battery is even more pleasing - buyers confirm that the connection network adapter This type of phone is rarely needed.

    Advantages

    • There is a slot for a memory card;
    • The set includes a belt holder with a compass;
    • Built-in FM radio;

    • A shockproof and waterproof case is used;
    • Not a bad camera;
    • The battery capacity reaches 2570 mAh;

    • There is Bluetooth.

    Flaws

    • Rarely found in stores;
    • Heavy weight;
    • Low display resolution;
    • Not the most user-friendly interface.

    Another secure phone in our rating. It has a body that is almost entirely painted in bright orange. The only exception is the black rubber pads, which act as shock absorbers when the device falls onto a hard surface. It should also be noted that the buttons here are also rubber. This means that water will definitely not penetrate through them if the device falls somewhere into a river. This will definitely please travelers. They will also appreciate the presence of GPS navigation here. For its full operation, you will have to get hold of a microSD card, because area maps weigh quite a lot.

    A push-button telephone for a traveler must work for a fairly long time. In this regard, the manufacturer has placed a 1750 mAh battery under the back cover. According to the creators of the device, a full charge will last for 12 hours of continuous conversation. Interestingly, the device can access the Internet - it supports the EDGE standard as much as possible. Wireless modules also include Bluetooth 2.0.

    As you might guess, the device has no problems playing MP3 songs. There is also a built-in FM radio, which may well please you at the dacha or anywhere else. Well, as for the screen, a 2-inch LCD panel is used here. Its resolution is 240x320 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of 200 PPI - not every budget smartphone can boast of this parameter! However, this push-button telephone is much more expensive than the most affordable smartphones- they are asking about 10 thousand rubles for it. Quite decent money for a gadget with one SIM card slot and a two-megapixel camera.

    At the time of writing this rating, this mobile phone has not yet gone on sale. However, Xiaomi has already managed to officially announce its unusual creation, so there is no doubt that it will soon become another hit in Chinese online stores. The device is significantly different from all the devices discussed above. The fact is that it uses a special firmware Mocor 5 OS, created on the basis of Android. This is also one of the few feature phones that can boast an IPS display. This screen has very good color reproduction and maximum viewing angles. Its diagonal is 2.8 inches and its resolution is 320x240 pixels.

    Under the body of this device is a dual-core Spreadtrum SC9820E processor. It provides operation not only to the firmware, but also to the GPS chip. The feature phone also includes 256 MB of RAM and 512 MB of permanent memory. Nothing was said about the card slot during the announcement microSD memory. But it would be very strange if he were not here. But the manufacturer did not forget to mention support for two SIM cards. The new product also has wireless Bluetooth modules 4.2 and Wi-Fi. This means that in many ways the device is almost no different from smartphones, but at the same time it has a comfortable physical keyboard. There is even an infrared port here, allowing you to control your TV or sound system! It remains to add that the capacity of the battery installed here is 1480 mAh, and it is recharged via the USB Type-C connector.

    The problem with Xiaomi's feature phone is that the Chinese are unlikely to introduce an international version of it. This means that the firmware may be deprived of the Russian language. And certainly the Cyrillic alphabet will not appear on the keys of this mobile phone.

And yet, the demands of connoisseurs of devices with a keyboard are growing as smartphones master new options. And if fans of traditional mobile phones for the most part do not think about high performance, broad communication capabilities and navigation tools, their requirements are increasing with regard to the usual functionality. In particular, a considerable part of users are looking for a feature phone with a good camera and at an affordable price.

    Basic requirements for phones with a camera

    When buying a mobile device, it is difficult to focus on only one characteristic, ignoring everything else. Nevertheless, for many this is enough, since basic functions such as making calls and sending SMS are supported by any device today. What should you pay attention to when choosing a shooting device? First of all, the number of pixels. Of course, this is not a guarantee of a certain level of quality, but, for example, a 5 MP gadget will obviously outperform a 2 MP model. In addition, a feature phone with a good camera should have at least basic tools in the form of shooting settings. This could be a set of filters, different photographing modes, delay capabilities, etc. Modern devices also allow shooting with autofocus, optical zoom, and backlighting.

    Nokia 515

    Finnish developers in the old days were famous for their excellent push-button models.

Still, the lack of autofocus limits the functionality of the device. Those who want a push-button cell phone with a good camera from a reliable manufacturer should recommend this particular device. However, this model does not have advanced options in terms of video and photography. It is more aimed at versatility in use modern capabilities mobile devices, as evidenced by the high-quality multimedia part.

    Nokia E6

    It should be noted right away that, unlike other models in this review, this device belongs to the category of smartphones. The peculiarity of the E6 is that the model is equipped with a keyboard, and in the original design. As for the camera, judging by its characteristics, it promises quality at the level of a camera, albeit a budget one. It is also worth considering that this is an inexpensive feature phone with a good camera when compared with its competitors. So, if the price of the 515 model can reach 10 thousand rubles, then the E6 will cost 2-3 thousand less.

Autofocus is again not provided, but if you need a device solely for shooting, then you should choose this option from Nokia. Push-button in this design is rare. Needless to say, even 5 MP versions are not available from every manufacturer. However, the practice of using this phone shows that the quality of the pictures does not reach 8 megapixels.

    Philips X5500

    This is one of the best representatives of the Xenium line, which is equipped not only with a decent camera, but also with a capacious battery. The device will also appeal to connoisseurs of “indestructible” devices that are designed for use in harsh conditions.

The device also has autofocus and LED backlight, so you don’t have to worry about the camera’s function.

    Conclusion

    All advanced technologies for mobile devices are primarily mastered by smartphones with touch screens. In turn, the aging segment of traditional devices does without a whole range of new functions. Despite this, today you can find a feature phone with a good camera and a whole range of other useful options. The only problem is that updates in the segment do not occur so often and some devices remain in manufacturers’ lines for several years. Companies are paying more attention to developing budget models, equipping them with 1.3-2 megapixel cameras. Of course, the quality of pictures in such phones by modern standards is not good at all.
